In 2020, the DSHS TexasAIM contracted with SUMA to conduct interviews with key personnel at 25 hospitals that had implemented the obstetric hemorrhage best practice bundle and healthcare providers at an additional 7 hospitals who were implementing a pilot bundle to address obstetric opioid use disorder. Interviewees included physicians and nurses in various roles who were actively involved in their hospital's implementation of the bundles. From these interviews, SUMA gathered the bright spots, challenges, and lessons learned of implementing these life-saving strategies.
Additionally, SUMA interviewed TexasAIM team members repeatedly and reviewed 100+ program documents to draft a comprehensive, polished report and a summary brief to tell the story of the planning, launch, and early implementation of this award-winning and ambitious public health initiative.
The findings from our interviews and our summary reports inform TexasAIM’s efforts as they expand these patient safety bundles to other hospitals across the state, implement new bundles, and offer guidance and lessons learned to other states and public health initiatives.
